1. About HI-Homes

Brand Overview

HI-Homes is a premium Indian rug and home-furnishing brand celebrating the master carpet-weaving heritage of Bhadohi. These Terms and Conditions govern your access to and use of our website, services, and the purchase of our home-furnishing products.

By browsing, accessing, or placing an order on this website, you agree to be bound by these Terms and Conditions and all associated policies published herein.

2. Website Use & User Eligibility

General Terms

To enter into a binding contract on HI-Homes, you represent that you are at least 18 years of age or are accessing the storefront under the supervision of a parent or legal guardian. You agree not to misuse the website, introduce malicious software, attempt unauthorized server access, or copy proprietary catalog imagery without written consent.

3. Product Information & Screen Representation

Artisan Craftsmanship

We make every effort to display the colors, textures, and finishes of our handcrafted rugs as accurately as possible. However, because display settings, ambient room lighting, and device screen calibrations vary, actual rug tones may display slight tonal variations in person.

Because our products are crafted by hand from natural fibres (wool, jute, cotton), subtle variations in weave texture, minor yarn sprouting, and dimensional variances of ±3% to 5% are inherent hallmarks of authentic artisan craft and do not constitute defective merchandise.

4. Pricing & Payments

INR & GST Inclusive

All prices listed on HI-Homes are quoted in Indian Rupees (INR) and are inclusive of applicable Goods and Services Tax (GST). We reserve the right to modify catalog pricing at any time without prior notice; however, price changes will not affect orders that have already received confirmed order confirmation.

Payments may be processed via credit/debit cards, UPI, net banking, supported digital wallets, or Cash on Delivery where serviceable.

5. Order Acceptance & Right to Cancel

Verification Rights

Your receipt of an electronic order confirmation does not signify our final acceptance of your order. HI-Homes reserves the right to accept, limit, or decline your order at any time after receipt for reasons including product out-of-stock, pricing discrepancies, unserviceable logistics pin codes, or suspected fraudulent activity. In such events, any charged amount will be promptly refunded in full.

6. Made-to-Order & Bespoke Commissions

Custom Rugs

Bespoke custom-sized and commissioned rugs require advance confirmation of architectural measurements, color palettes, and loom lead times. Once custom weaving has commenced, bespoke orders cannot be cancelled, modified, or returned for change-of-mind, as the rug is crafted exclusively to client specifications.

7. Shipping & Risk of Loss

Transit Responsibility

All shipments are fulfilled through authorized third-party cargo carriers. Risk of loss and title for products pass to the buyer upon confirmed physical delivery to the designated shipping address. For complete details on delivery timelines and damaged shipment reporting, please consult our Shipping & Delivery Policy.

8. Returns, Exchanges & Refunds

7-Day Return Window

Standard in-stock catalog rugs may be returned or exchanged within 7 days of delivery in accordance with our Return, Refund & Exchange Policy. All returns are subject to physical inspection at our Gurugram facility before refund release.

Legal Disclaimer

In no event shall HI-Homes, its proprietors, directors, or artisans be liable for any indirect, incidental, punitive, or consequential damages resulting from the use or inability to use our products or website. Our total aggregate liability for any claim arising out of a purchased product shall not exceed the amount actually paid by you for that specific product.
